Before the establishment of the two Great School Societies in this country, it is well known that the state of education was most defective, and many per- Bop, imagined that the voluntary system pursued by these and other useful Institutions would at all events abate, if not root up, the !evil. All who take an interest in this great question, however, will be distressed to find, from the discussion on Mr. WYSE'S motion, that whatever has hitherto been done is as nothing compared to the wants of the people, and they will be still more dis tressed to find, that Government hold out no hopes of encouragement to the plans of either Lord BROUGHAM or Mr. WYBE. Mr. SLANEY, a good authority on this subject, stated, that in the metropolis only one in twenty of the population receive any education at all, and in the manufacturing districts not one in thirty. Mr. CLAY said, in the district of Bethnal-green, out of fourteen thousand children, only two thousand had the benefit of a common education. Mr. BROTHERTON in formed the House, that in the borough which he re presented, there were not less than seven thousand chil dren totally destitute of any means of education, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, improving upon these statistical statements, added that, instead of one in three, only one in four received any education ; and that, from the returns made by chaplains of gaols, it was ascertained that many persons confined for serious offences were without the simplest elementary instruction. Could it be supposed beforehand ;that any:country, abounding in such wealth and in so many educational charities as England, would exhibit such a picture as this drawn by the Home-Secretary ? His Lordship was evidently ashamed of the inferiority of England in this respect, and expressed himself in a manner which at first would lead the public to believe that some great measure must be adopted for wiping out the disgrace. Ho thought it " the duty of Parliament and of the State to give full encouragement to education generally, and considering the various means at their disposal—that the income of the Church was very considerable—that they had charitable foundations of large amount—and, considering the wealth of the country generally, he thought they ought not to permit the education of the people to remain in the low and inferior state in which it at present existed." He admitted the evil to the fullest extent. He thought the country required means of education which neither the School Societies nor the State provided, and after such a prologue, the friends of education would naturally expect a corresponding epilogue, but miserable will be their disappointment when they learn, that "he was not prepared to state any means by which Parlia anent could be called on to aid the work of edu cation beyond what they had already done, and that he would rather wait for some greater agree ment among the chief promoters of education than agree to the address?" Who, after this, will smile at the rustic waiting till the river flowed by ? If Government wait till Sir ROBERT INGLIS and Mr. COLQUHOUN come to an agreement with Mr. WYSE and Mr. BAINES, they may wait till doomsday. Would any- Reform have been carried had such a principle been acted on ? Yet here it is laid down in discussing a question far more important to the peace of the community, the security of the Constitu tion, and the present and future happiness of our fellow creatures, than any that was ever brought before Parlia ment. Lord BROUGHAM, and all the friends of eduCa tion, now know that at present they can expect no assist ance, and must trust only to themselves. We direct the attention of our readers to a report, in another column, under the head of " Sunday News papers," of the dismissal, by Sir PETER LAURIE, Of an information filed against Air. Alderman HARMER, the liberal and energetic proprietor of the Weekly Dispatch, for the alleged offence of publishing that journal on Sun day. The informer in this instance, as in several others relative to the 'Weekly Press, was the Reverend HERBERT SMITH, a gentleman whose pastoral solicitude kindly extends from the paupers of the New Forest Union Workhouse, to the editors, proprietors, and venders of 'the Metropolitan Sunday Journals. We of course impute no unworthy motive to the Reverend guardian of Cockney Sabbath morals ; although well prepared to show that he might employ his time better, and do more credit to his sacred ministry, than by • figuring as an informer against questionable offences at the different. London Police-offices. The clergyman who rests his claim to a perfect independence--even of the smiles or frowns of the Government—on the possession of seventy five pounds a-year, and who is sincere in making such a declaration, cannot be supposed to assume the censorship: of a nation's morals, and that in a form the most repulsive to moral feeling, from any pecuniary or otherwise corrupt consideration. Nevertheless, it is vexatious that no pro tection is afforded to society against the babbling and liti gious zeal of such fanatics and enthusiasts. To satisfy some fanatical scruple of conscience, expenses are incurred ; the time of a Bench of Magistrates is frittered away ; and men, like Alderman flartmEa, whose every moment must be of importanc e to himself and the public, are dragged forward to defead themselves, on charges criminal only in the opini on o f the religiously insane. Sir P. LAURIE stated his decision to be in accordance with the oninion of an emi nent Counsel. This intimatio n will probably put an end to any further informations respecting Sunday Newspapers; but for our own part , we think..that Sir PETER sruld have acted. much more wisely, had he dismissed such a trumpery information without havin g recourse to any such formality. He himself must have known that as far as regards manual labour, it is not the Publication of the Sunday, but of the Monday papers that necessarily involves a breach of the Sabbath ; and that consequently to keep the Sabbath holy, in the fanatical s . 2nie of that greatly abused term, it would be necessary to prohibit th e M on d ay editions of all the L on d on Morning Journals—a stretch of politically restrictive power to which fanaticism will never be adequate in England. We have already had too much of the cant of Sabbath protection to tolerate it patiently any longer. The people are themselves the best and the only true guardians of the Sabbath ; an d it must henceforth rest with them to sanctify it as their sense of their duty to Gob, their neighbours, and their own consciences may dictate. In our advertising columns will be found the rett4iitions unanimously passed at d rntsatitlg held in the Royal Ex change, Dublin, at which the LORD MAYOR presitho ; upon the subject of the renewal the bank of Ireland Charter. The speevbcs delivered upon the important oc casion, especially by Mr. JAMES DWYER and Mr. CLAS SON, were of a character to make a deep and lasting im pression. Wc look upon the cause now as triumphant, for when we recollect the promises made by Lords LIVERPOOL and GoDERICH upon the last renewal of the Charter, and couple them with Mr. SPRING RICE'S concession the other day to the Drogheda deputation, we think that any attempt to continue this pernicious monopoly is a thing not to be thought of by any sane individual. Mr. RICE, as the financial Minister of the country, has given it as his opinion that the privilege of the Bank of Ireland, which at present entitles it alone to issue notes in Dublin, and for a circle of fifty miles round, should be limited to a circle of five miles round the Irish metropolis. But then look what a gross incon sistency is committed by such a restriction, which would imply that a monopoly which was injurious to the commer cial interests of comparatively small towns, was not prejudi cial to the prosperity of the Irish capital. The Dublin Evening Post, comments upon this anomaly with considera ble effect, and is well sustained by the Irish correspondent of the Times, who makes the following appropriate obser vations : " A meeting of merchants and other citizens, at which the Lord Mayor presided, was held yesterday at the Royal Exchange, to consider the best course to be adopted to put an cud to the monopoly of the Bank of Ireland. Mr. James Dwyer, one of the Directors of the Agricultural Bank, stated that they should now claim the re demption of the pledge wade in 1821, and afterwards in 1834, by Lord Goderich, that when the Bank of Ireland Charter expired, trade in banking should be free. Mr. Smith, one of the Dundalk and Drogheda Deputation, stated in substance what appeared in the City Article of the Times as to the result of the interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer—that the Right lion. Gentleman held that something was due to the Bank of Ireland—that its privileges, instead of 50 miles from Dublin, should extend over Dublin and five miles round, or at least to the circular road which includes most of . the suburbs. Mr. Smith recommended an energetic movement on the subject, and he said he was confident that a deputation from Dublin to the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be successful. Eventually, a deputation was appointed to proceed to London. " The general opinion is that the Government will have to give way on this point. If the privileges of the Bank of Ireland were limited to the circular road, a joint-stock bank of issue could, and no doubt would, at once be established at the other side of Dorset-street, or some other place out of the prohibited ground ; and even if the restriction extended to five miles, there would be nothing to prevent the operations of a rival bank at Kingstown, which the railway has brought within 15 minutes' drive of Dublin." As a strong proof that the question is exciting an intense interest in Ireland, we extract another passage from a pro vincial Irish print, the Londonderry Journal, which ma nages with much ability to expose the dilemma in which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will place himself should he persevere in a half-measure policy : As to the debt due to the establishment by Government, upon which 4 per cent. interest is paid, the Times we observe has adopted our idea —namely, that of paying it off by borrowing its amount at 3i per cent., or less. The proposed restriction of the monopoly will, doubtless, be of advantage to Drogheda and other towns within the present tabooed circle ; but, considered in a national point of view, it will operate ♦ery little in diminution of the existing grievance. As we said on a former occasion, the decline of the trade of Dublin--which, of itself, is a national misfertune—is, in a great measure, clearly traceable to the monopoly ; and upon that point we are not precluded from insisting by the silence observed by the people of the metropolis; as that proceeds, according to the Times, from the sensitive apprehensions of the trading and other classes lest any steps taken by them against the Bank might be visited upon them, to the prejudice, if not ruin, of their credit, by the agents of that establishment, in whose power, more or less, so large a portion of them are enthralled.' But the point most to be regarded Is, that Dublin is the great centre of Irish exchanges, and the monetary emporium of the country ; and it is certain that a Bank established there, with an overwhelming capital and credit—and both these reinforced by an exclusive privilege, which drives all competition to a distance—will have it at all times in its power to annoy the other Banks, and mar and derange their operations—of which it has just now supplied an example—and consequently to enslave them ; and thus, while that privilege endures, there can be no perfect soundness in the system. The evil is of so general and so serious a nature that every mercantile community in Ireland—nay, we might say in the three kingdoms —ought to petition against its continuance." We have only, in conclusion, to observe, that the City articl e of the Times to-day, in our opinion, grapples with the question in a manner at once irrefutable and conclusive. Mr. O'CONNELL, we regret to observe, was unable last night to bring on his motion for the abolition of female slavery ; and from the present state of business, it is quite uncertain when he will find a proper opportunity. What ever may be the opinions and sneers of others, we are con fident that, on this question, he will:not subject himself to those imputations on his sincerity, which have been insi nuated against him in advance by the Morning Herald. As his motion, however, is postponed, we turn to the next measure, which the indefatigable friends of the ne groes, with a noble perseverance, inspired by the con ' sciousness of a good cause, are to promote. Mr. PEASE, on the CHANCILLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S moving this evening for a Committee on the Sugar Duties and Bounties, is to bring under the consideration of the House certain modifications of them. He will pro pose, we believe, the abolition of the bounty which is now given on refined sugar on being exported, and, though opposed by the West Indians, he will be supported by most of the sugar refiners. The bounty or drawback is estimated to take about 360,0001. out of the pockets of the public, for no other purpose than to stimulate the pro duction of sugar in our colonies, and impose additional tasks on the negroes. The mode of operation is this— " When the refiner," says a little pamphlet lying before us, " buys sugar to be refined for exportation, he pays a certain sum to the Govern ment for duty—this is 245. on every cwt. he buys; but when he ex ports the refined sugar he has made, Government gives him a much larger sum than he paid in duty ; he gets 435. 2d. for every cwt. ho exports. The bounty, however, does not amount to the difference be tween these sums (19s. 2d.) because it requires more than a cwt. of raw sugar to make a cwt. of refined; but, at all events, it is such as to enable him to sell his sugar for exportation at 3s. per cwt. below the price of the raw material. Thus, the average price of Jamaica sugar, duty free, is 41s. per cwt. ; the price which the refiner gets for his sugar, for exportation, after having received the bounty (435. 2d) is 355. ; difference, 3s. per cwt." The pamphlet after entering into a number of calcula tions, for which we cannot find room, comes to the conclu sion that on every cwt. of refined sugar exported, the country pays 17s. ; which on the average of ten years pre ceding 1833 amounted to the sum of 361,2,50/. per year. Now this sum only enables the refiner to enter into com petition with the sugar refiners on the Continent, where raw sugar is sold at a much lower rate than here, and the principal advantage derived from it goes to the West India planter, for whose sugar it finds a Continental market. To the people of this country it is a double disadvantage ; for they have not only to pay the tax, but they have to pay it in order to raise the price of sugar against themselves. If they did not pay this sum, the West India planters would have only our country to supply, of which they have the monopoly ; sugar would be reduced in price here, and the planters would not have so strong an interest in tasking thier slaves to grow sugar. We hope, therefore, that the pockets of the public and the toil of the negroes may be spared by Mr. PEASE'S motion succeeding. At least it must make the public aware of the enormous expense which is entailed on it by the discreditable system of slavery. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all been received. On Tuesday, the Chamber of Deputies disposed of the War Budget for 1839. Several reductions were moved and carried by the Opposition. A rather angry debate fol lowed on the subject of a Bill which had passed the Cham ber for the regulation of the Army. This Bill was intro duced by the War Minister, with the consent of the KING, but the Chamber seeing that it would have the effcct of enabling the Government to elevate the favourites of the SOVEREIGN over the heads of the most deserving veteran officers, so amended it as actually to curtail, instead of extending, the Royal prerogative. The Chamber fixed the number of Marshals in France at six in time of peace, and never to exceed twelve even in time of actual war. In stead of using their influence to have the amended Bill simply rejected by the Peers, the Ministers have sent up with it their original Bill, in order that both might be laid upon the table at the same time. This course has natu rally excited some astonishment in the Chamber of Depu ties, and on being alluded to by the Marquis de MORNAY, the President, M. DurlN, pronounced it unconstitu tional. This took place simultaneously with the subiect of the two Bills being under discussion in the Upper Cham ber ; but the debate there was neither animated nor interesting. The KING has addressed a letter to Marshal Lonati, Commandant of the National Guards, in approval of the conduct and demeanour of that body of City-soldiers at the review on Sunday The following is the latest news from Africa : We learn that Admiral Lalande, who sailed from Toulon on the 24th ult., arrived on the 25th off Tunis. The Admiral, however, had been preceded by a Turkish frigate, which had landed a distinguished personage sent by the Porte as A:nbassadot to the new Rey, with valuable presents from the Sultan, and - powers to invest him .with the government of the Regency. This, it will be observed, confirms the ac.. count from Tunis, given by us on 11Ionday It was thought probable that the new Bey would accept this in7estittire ; and that as he would. ,z 4, P i,- 0 st: N.V " PIP I k 4'4 • „ 4 ,10%,*- , e4s. • • _. au n.

On the preceding day the Deputies adopted the Report of the Committee upon the Tithe Bill, recommending the payment of that impost, by a majority of 29—a vote which was generally regarded as conclusive of the strength of the Cabinet. From the theatre of war, or rather of robbery and civil outrage, the accounts are rather favourable. On the 8d inst. the first brigade of the army of reserve, composed of 3,000 infantry and 100 horse, arrived at Manzanares, in La Mancha. Two other brigades, of a like number of men, were rapidly moving for the same point. PA Liums, terrified at the proximity of so large a hostile force, raised the siege of Ciudad Real. To add to the perplexity of the Carlists, BALMASEDA has been beaten by Colonel ZUR BANo, and lost the whole of the prisoners which he took at the night surprise of Mayols and his company, in Ontaria. We copy the account from the correspondence of the Correo Nacional, a Madrid:paper. The writer dates from Lerma, the 4th inst. : " I avail myself of a courier who is being sent with dispatches to the Government, to inform you that the faction of Balmaceda was surprised the day before yesterday, at half.past two in the day, in Quintanar de la Sierra, by Colonel Zurbano. On coming up with them he immediately made two companies prisoners, took all their equipage, with that of the Christino prisoners of Ontaria, and a large quantity of rations. The remainder of the faction was completely dispersed, and such is the state of fright and confusion into which Balmaceda has been driven, that he permitted the Christino prisoners to go where they pleased on their pa. role of honour to return at a given place unless they had not been pre viously exchanged in a regular manner. In order to effect this ridicu lous stipulation, he retained Colonel Mayols and about 30 of his officers and men as hostages with him. The remainder of these prisoners marched to this place, and commenced entering the town at eleven o'clock at night. At the moment of writing (five o'clock in the morning) al mos t th e whole of the prisoners have arrived here. They appear in a state of almost complete nudity, and are much broken down by the bad treatment they received. I expect the day will not pass over without news being received here of Balmaceda and the whole of his forces having fallen into the hands of the Christino Generals, as the columns of Rodriguez and of E , peleta are close upon them, and in flying from Zurbano may be taken by these officers. We learn from the last prisoners who have just come here, that the faction and Zurbano are very neat this place ; FO that it is probable the latter may again come up with them before nine o'clock this evening. Some firing has been heard at about two leagues distance." The QUEEN REGENT is reported to have quite reco vered from her recent indisposition. Sir GEORGE VIL LIERS was to give a grand diplomatic dinner to the new French Ambassador and the Members of the Spanish Ca binet on the 6th inst.—the date of these advices. Brussels and German Papers have been received to-day, but their contents are of no general interest. The Belgian Journals content themselves with discussing the respective merits of several pamphlets which have appeared on the subject of the 24 Articles. The German Papers merely allude to letters from Constantinople of the 22d of May, which state that the quarantine laws have alarmed the Imauns and more scrupulous Turks, who see only in that measure a repudiation of the doctrines taught in the Koran. It was feared that the Sultan would be unable to quell the storm thus raised against him, except by the abrogation of the quarantine law, which in its turn would be a measure fatal to all schemes of further improvement.

LATEST PARTICULARS—(THIS DAY.) The sensation that this awful catastrophe has created in the metro polis, exceeds any thing of the kind for several years past. There are various reports in circulation as to the exact cause of the accident, which it would at the present time be unfair to allude to, as a legal trial will take place. This morning, Mr. Baker, the Coroner for West Middlesex, was informed of the lamentable occurrence by the parochial authorities of Shadwell, who appointed the Inquest to be held on the unfortuate sufferers, now lying dead in the Victoria, to-morrow (Saturday) afternoon. • The Victoria is considered the ',nest steam-vessel, in construction, that the port of London can boast of. She cost 44,000/. and contains sleeping berths to the number of 150 ; her engines are of 350 horse power, and her tonnage exceeds 813 tons measurement. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A young man of respectable appearanc,r, named James Hell, a cotton steam weaver, residing at Crostones, near Bury, in Lancashire, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing from the person of Smith, quarter-master of her Majesty's ship Tribunal, two 51. Bank of England Notes, three Sovereigns, and other money his property. It appeared from th e statement of the prosecutor, that hav i ng been paid off at Chatham, he was yesterday proceeding on foot from Graves end to Dartford, and being overtaken by the prisoner who fell into conversation with him, he related several of his adventures in foreign climes. The prisoner, on being acquainted that he had just become possessed of a quantity of money, complained of his great distress saying, he had not tasted food for the last two days, and after treating him to every nourishment that he required, they arrived in Woolwich, where the prisoner was jiined by a female who had no means to pay her passage to town. The prosecutor by this time was drunk, and instantly oirered to pay the fare for the prisoner and his friend, and while on board he was strongly advised by the prisoner to lay himself down, and have a sleep before he went ashore. In consequence of the plausible manner of the prisoner he complied, and during his slumbers found him take the pocket-book, containing the money in question, from his trowsers. When the steamer arrived at the wharf, there was a dis pute about the fare, as the prosecutor refused to perform his contract, alleging, that he was robbed, and during the scuffle the prisoner leaped ashore, but was prevented by the passengers from making his escape and the women slipped away in the confusion. On searching the prisoner, there were only a sovereign and a few half-pence found upon him. In answer to the charg: the prisoner said, he never received any kind ness from the prosecutor, but he treated hint several times while on the journey. He was then ordered to be brought up again tomorrow. Jane Wood was convicted of stealing two pieces of printed calico from the shop door of Bernard Doyle, 1, Oxford-street, and ordered . to be fully committed for trial. DOVER, JUNE 14.—Arrived from Boulogne, the Britannia, Bushell, with his Excellency the Marquis de Mirafiores and suite, Ambassador Extraordinary from the Court of Spain on the occa. sion of her Majesty's Coronation. His Excellency proceeded this morn. ing for London tinder the usual salute from the Western Heights. CORONER'S INQUEST ON C OLONEL CAMP DELL.--Yesterday an inquest was held in the Board. rocm of St. George's Hospital, Hyd s Park-corner, before Mr. Higgs, on the bod y o f C o l one l Michael Horace Campbell, aged 68. James Jones, p o li ce constable, about nine o'clock on Saturday night last, was on duty in Knightsbridge. In passing Goding's brewhouse he observed the deceased, who was walk ing towards Kensington. Between ten and eleven o'clock the same night, witness, in going his rounds, discovered him lying on the pathway near the Barracks, quite insensible, and bleeding from a wound over the right eye.. Witness obtained assistance, and the deceased was removed to the station house. By the Coroner—When I first saw the deceased, about nine o'clock, I considered that he was intoxicated. He was alone at the time. It rained very hard at the time. I spo k e to the deceased when I s a w him about nine o'clock, and off ered to sec him home. He replied, "I am not tipsey, my good man, and I sh a ll soon be at home." When I discovered him on the ground I suspected he had been robbed and ill used, but I did not hear any cries for assist. ance. Mrs. Campbell, the widow of the deceased, stated that deceased had served in the army upwards of fifty years. During the Peninsular war he was aide-de-camp to Sir Thomas Piston. He had been wounded several times ; once severely in the head, and when he took a little more wine than usual, he completely lost himself. He left home on Saturday morning last to sce a friend at the west end of the town. Ilc did not re. turn that night, and on the following day she received the melancholy intelligence of his being in St. George's Hospital. Verdict—" Acci dental death." The deceased has left a large family. The Tories of Kidderminster, and of some other places, most doggedly decline to join the Liberals in celebrati ng t h e Coronation of her Majesty. The utmost civilit y has been evinced t o . wards them by their po liti ca l opponents, but they sullenly ref use all coin _ promise for a moment, even of their exclusive dominancy. CORONATION IN EDINBURGII.--We understand that, at a preliminary meeting of some of the principal inhabitants of this city, of all politics and professions, held in the Council (-h am _ hers on Monday, the Lord Provost in the chair, it was unanimously re solved that there should be a public evening entertaimmnt on the dth inst., on the occasion of her Majesty's Coronation; and it was farther unanimously resolved, that provided the necessary sum cans be raised by snbscriptinn for attaining a splendid display of fireworks, an illumina. tion should be din.pcnsed with, and arrangements made with the anther- Cities to that effect. We trust that the inhabitants will therefore come forward liberally in support of the latter resolution, as they will thereby save much expense to themselves, and avoid the great inconvenience of lighting up their houses—affording at the wept time greater gratitea tion to the general public.—Scotsman. - - ASCOT GOLD CUP AND QUEEN'S PLATE.- Bell's Life in London, of Sunday, June 17, will give Splendid Engray. ings of these Cups, together with the fullest and most authentic parti culars of the Races.—Ttic CORONATTON.—BeII's Life in London of Sunday, the Ist of July, will contain full particulars of the Coronation of her Majesty Oueca Victoria, together with a Series of Beautiful En , gravings illustratie9 of tke most interesting parts of the Ceremony.

The Master of the Rolls sat this morning at his Court in Chancery. lane, when 912 country and 19 town solicitors were sworn in. His Lord, ship afterwards proceeded with short causes. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) TUE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SALMON. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE applied exparte this morning in this case, in which an information had been filed by the Attorney.Gcneral, at the relation of the Churchwardens and parishioners of St. Edward's parish, Cambridge, for an injunction to restrain the defendant, who is the lessee of two houses under a grant by Trinity Hall and Corpus Christi Colleges, Cambridge, from making certain erections near the Eastern window of St. Edward's Church, by means of which that ancient light would be materially lessened. It appeared, from the affidavits of two of the plaintiffs, that the houses in question are situated at the Eastern end of St. Edward's Church, and the plaintiff in making improvements in those houses was erecting a wall, which would hare the effect of completely stopping up a light that had existed for centuries, whereby the Church would be considerably darkened. His HONOR granted the injunction. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) PATTY V. EDWARDS: The plaintiff in this case is proprietor of a Fulham omnibus ; and it appeared in the evidence that one night in last July the defendant's cart being on the wrong side of the Fulham-road, and the driver asleep, whilst the plaintiff's omnibus was coming up at a smart trot, the shaft of the defendant's cart penetrated the chest of one of the plaintiff's horses, which died of the injury. This action was brought to recover the value of the horse, and the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 181. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.

This question comes before the Court to try the right of the Deputy Oyster Meters of the City of London, to measure, shovel, unload, and deliver, all oysters which enter within the port of London, extending from Staines Bridge down to Yanlet Creek, in any ship, vessel, boat or barge, in the form of two issues directed by Mr. Baron Alderson from the Equity side of the Court. The case arose out of the resistance made by the Hungerford Market Company to allow the meters to perform the duty of meting and deliver. ing all oysters sold in that market. There was much difficulty in getting the jury, as some had left t he country, others were excused, and one who was summoned was dead. Four were ordered to be fined 101. One of them, the sheriff's officer said, was to be married today, but the Judges did not think that a sufficient excuse. The case was opened by Sir F. PoLLocK, who was proceeding to call his witness when our Reporter left. The case is expected to last till a late hour. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY): TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received Buenos Ayres papers to the Bth April. We copy the following " In our hit we notified the blockade of this Port by the French squadron. The only precautionary measure we have heard of, is that of the Captain of the Port having requested as a matter of courtesy, that the masters of merchant vessels will hold no communication with the blockading squadron. " By the terms of the despatch of Admiral Leblanc, announcing the blockade, it appears that it only extends to the Argentine ports within the Capes of the river Plate, leaving open those of Patagonia, Bahia, Blanca and others." We have received :Montevideo Papers to the 3d April ; they contain no local political news of importance. The belligerents in the civil war there seem to have suspended operations by mutual consent ; but as yet there appears no probability of its speedy conclusion. Extract of the operations of the blockade before Buenos Ayres : " SUNDAY, IST APRIL—At an early hour in the morning, several French men-of-war's boats were observed to the northward, chasing and bringing to, with musketry and several guns, several river crafts, who, seemingly, were unconscious of the state of things. The weather was calm and fine. " 2d. The French armed boats were employed, as on the preced. ing day. " 3d. The boats of the blockaders were firing their several guns and musketry nearly all day at various river craft, to bring them to; those not brought to were allowed to enter the inner roads, except the pilot boat Constellation. " 4th and sth. French beats cruised us usual. " 6th. The blockading vessels assumed this day a respectable ap pearance in point of numbers, being reinforced by the corvette Ewe ditive and brig Alert, and may now in truth be called ' The Blockading Squadron.' A schooner, supposed the national schooner Virginia, from Rio Janeiro, was turned back this morning. " The boats employed, as above stated, are well manned and armed. Nothing in the shape of resistance has, or indeed can,be offered to them." Exchange on England during the week, 5 t 2 highest ; the lowest 5 Highest price of Doubloons, 157 dollars ; lowest, 153. The Journal du Commerce, received this morning, has a second edi tion, with infirmation from Buenos Ayres, five days later than our foregoing article, to the 13th April, as follows : " They write us from Buenos Ayres, by the ship Napoleon, that Admiral Leblanc arrived on the 24th March in the corvette Expedi tive, in the roads: of Buenos Ayres, and his Aid-de-Camp, gave the ultimatum to the Minister Arena, with three hours for his determine. tion ; at two o'clock the Secretary of the General Department stated that Roses cmild not send his answer until . the 26th, or Tuesday, the 27th. On Monday, at noon, the Admiral sent M. Dugucrn to signify to the Minister Arana that he expected an answer that day. The Governor of the port embarked at seven o'clock in the evening on Monday the 26th, with the answer to Admiral Leblanc, which was far from being satisfactory to the French Admiral ; and on the 28th he ordered a vigorous blockade. General Brown, who commanded a corps of the army of Santa Cruz, has already invaded some esf the provinces of the confederation (Argentine). He occupies Salta, and at the end of July he will march on Tucuman. It is thought he will advance on Cordova, which is only 160 leagues from Buenos Ayres, and his forces are sufficient to overthrow the Government."

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.--This work, by the Author of " Glances at Life" (Cornelius Webbe), has as length made its appearance, and promises to afford abundant entertainment to the lovers of light readir g. The remarks made by the Quarterly Review on this author's former work, apply with even more force to the present produc tion :--" The writer has walked the streets and lanes of this great town and its suburbs, with an observant eye and a benevolent heart; and he has recorded his impressions in a style of picturesque liveliness which re minds us (and this is no slensier praise) of Charles Lamb. The persons and places described by him, are, for the most part, as new to us as if we had never lived in London ; and so they will be to the great majority of our London readers. There is the inimitable stamp of truth On his de lineations, and the good humour and contentedness of disposition which he carries with him wherever he goes, give them a charm which recalls the effect of some of Goldsmith's early essays in the " Citizen of the ♦World. "—Quarterly Review. The catch of inackarel along the coast of the south ern channel, last week, was very great ; many cart-loads, particularly on Saturday last, having reached our market in excellent and brilliant condition.

He is a very clever angler, which he fre quently practises. On being lately asked how his wife was ? he replied, " Oh, I left her washing." The Misses Smith, from Braham's Theatre, Lon- don, made their first appearance here on Monday.

Wednesday Sir Peter Laurie attended at Guildhall, to • state his decision upon an information filed by the ROv• Herbert Smith against Mr. Alderman Harmer, for publishing a newspaper, entitled the liTtehly Dispatch, on tile Sabbath, as being contrary to the statute, which forbids any kind of trading on the Sundey, except w o r ks o f necessity and charity- Sir P. LauarE inquired of the Rev. Gentleman what bad been done at Bow-street in the information against Mr. Cle ment for selling an Observer on the Sabbath ? The REV. GENTLEMAN, said nothing satisfactory. The. Magistrate, after taking what he co n sidered clear ev l- dcrice of the sale of the paper by a person behind the coun ter, deferred deciding the matter till a sublequent day, "'he n the witness did not suppose his evidence would be again re quired. Because the witness was not present on the sec ond occasion to answer any questions, the Magistrate dotbterl whether the evidence was sufficiently certain, and disnuss°`i the care, intimating, however, that he considered the otPmce punishable. Sir PETER LAURIE said it was oft e n deemed convenient to get rid of a question by seizing on informalities ; . but he always preferred going into the merits o f a case, and deciding directly upon them. It had been his fate, since he had been a Magls‘' trate, to have many peculiar cases brought before him• there was no appeal, he had taken considerable pains to afr o ! at a proper conclusion ; and, as for obvious reasons of d ell '. cagy, he felt he should avoid relying on the opinions of t.bn usual legal adviser to the sitting Magistrate, or of the City Solicitor, though lie valued their opinions very highly, he had, resorted to the advice of an eminent Counsel. A case han been sumbitted fur his opinion, and he (Sir Peter Laurie) bound to give his decision according to that opinion. II I ! decision was, that as there appeared to he some doubt whether the complaint came clearly within the Act, he should give the defendant the benefit of that doubt, and decline to convict. As the same reason extended to the case of the John Bull, it would not be necessary to go wi n that information. No ono could be more anxious than he Was to prevent Sunday trading, and promotaa de co rous obscrvan ce of that day ; and he wished it to be distinctly understoo d that ~ the doubt which prevented him from convicting for the sale i.)t. a Sunday newspaper on a Sunday, would not apply to the lay' of anything else. The REV. GENTLEMAN expressed his sorrow at hearing th is decision. He thought the sale of meat, fish, and vegetables, which would lose their value if not sold on the Sunday morn ing, was far more excusable than the vending of a Sunday paper, which might be sold on the Saturday. Sir PETER LAURIE said he would not argue the policy of his decision with him. The REV. GENTLEMAN thanked Sir Peter fur the attention he had bestowed upon the matter. He explained in reference e to a previous statement respecting himself and his dependenc, on the Government, that besides holding an appointment o's 251. a year as chaplain at a powder-magazine, he had 5 0 /- 6 chaplain to the New Forest UnionlWorkhouse. Sir PETER LAURIE then told the Rev. Gentleman ho lcg . sorry lie had been put to the trouble of coming so many nu to hear the decision, and the complainant retired. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
